The habit gets a new name.
Abandoning your partner in a remote area is now called an “Alpine divorce.” It’s a thing. People are sharing their own experiences of being left behind by their partners. It’s like a bad breakup, but with more hiking trails. The term “Alpine divorce” comes from a 1893 short story by Robert Barr. Because, of course, it does.
